Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They don't just kill science: that's inconvenient and dumb but it can be put on pause fairly safely.
In this case, they're putting public health in grave danger. That will turn them into literal mass-murderer if a new pandemic takes hold.
I think they liked the results of the pandemic, they want to cause another one. First term I could blame it on incompetence, but this time it's very intentional.
And you think they care?
Killing off science will ruin the country, it will even ruin the military as it depends in the results of science
They don't care.
They want their theocracy, that's all. If millions die, then that is a sacrifice they're willing to make, as long as it isn't them
Science is a tool.
20th century facists used eugenics (which was considered scientifically sound at the time) to argue for genociding disabled people.
With the small caveat that eugenics is not scientific.
It was an extremist interpretation of mendelian genetics. But it was a near dominant view among geneticists at the time.
What's crazy to me is that eugenics is largely sound... It's literally a forbidden branch of science not because it's unscientific, but because our species can't be trusted with it
So much so that it becomes worthless. Elon Musk is doing his best to spread his genetics, even inappropriately offering up his sperm to female employees... He thinks he's one of humanities best and brightest. The kedamine addicted failed programmer turned conman, a guy so insecure he faked being good at video games and has created nothing himself, thinks his genes need to be spread far and wide
We are animals, we can indeed be bred for traits like animals, but we're so bad at evaluating ourselves we literally cannot use this branch of science
Eugenics is not sound because
Like for example eugenics in the Nazi regime genocided 90% of people with schizophrenia to try and wipe it out. But now, in 2025, schizophrenia rates are largely the same between germany and other western countries, because schizophrenia only has a small heritability factor.
Their Immortan Joe fantasies always make me think of this:
There's already reporting of a "quademic" currently ravaging the US. Trump just put a gag order on the health departments.
